Directions

Line a 9-inch pie plate with bottom pastry. Trim pastry even with edge of plate.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add apples and toss to coat. Pour into crust and dot with butter.

Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; make decorative cutouts in the crust. Place pastry over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Top with cutouts. Brush top pastry with cream if desired. Cover edges loosely with foil.

Bake at 425F for 30 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
